[FIXED] Changing java platform on which netbeans runs

Issue

I am using Netbeans 6.7. I had first installed Java 1.5 before installing Netbeans. When i installed Netbeans it took Java 1.5 as the default version. Then i installed Java 1.6 on my machine. I need to change the default JDK of my netbeans to 1.6 not only to a specific project but to the whole Netbeans application.

Solution

You can change the JDK for Netbeans by modifying the config file:

1. Open netbeans.conf file available under etc folder inside the NetBeans installation.
2. Modify the netbeans_jdkhome variable to point to new JDK path, and then
3. Restart your Netbeans.
